On: How to lose $950 quickly on Airbnb

[A_D_E_P_T]

There are lots of alternatives. Agoda, Booking.com, and many similar sites offer short-term apartment rentals. Also, in much of the world outside the US, hotels are a better and surer bet than short-term apartment rentals.

Look at it like this: Would you pay $950 for the privilege of using AirBNB? I sure wouldn't. An "AirBNB Membership fee" on the order of $950 should seem absurd.

Even in the US, hotels are better and cheaper than airbnbs

For one person maybe. Otherwise not in my experience.

The alternatives are often better than airbnb too.
